THE much-loved 80s throwback music festival, Rewind Scotland will not return to Perth next year.
The family-friendly event had grown in popularity over the years with thousands flocking to Scone Palace to watch and sing along to some 1980s classics.
Billy Ocean and The Boomtown Rats headlined the event last year with other acts like Hue & Cry, Kim Wilde, and Boyzlife playing at the four-day festival.
However, organisers revealed Rewind Scotland will be taking a “sabbatical” in 2025.
In a statement posted on Facebook, a spokesperson for Rewind Festival said: “Looking onto 2025, we wanted to let you all know about the changes that will be taking place.
“Unfortunately Rewind Scotland is taking a sabbatical next year, and Rewind North will also not take place in 2025.”
It continued: “We know many of you will be disappointed with this news, but we’re sure you’ll join us in thanking Scone Palace for their hospitality and support over the past, fantastic Rewind years.”
Despite the event being cancelled in Perth next year organisers of the festival have announced two new locations for next year – in Margate, Kent and Cork, Ireland.
The announcement of Rewind Scotland not being held in 2025 comes days after Stirling Summer Sessions was also confirmed to be axed for next year.
However, a spokesperson for Stirling Council said they hoped the event would return in 2026.
